12 When the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, "Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go to the villages and farms around and put up for the night and find food, for here we are in the wild lands."

13 He said to them, "Give them something to eat yourselves." They replied, "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes. We cannot go and buy food for all this crowd, can we?"

14 There were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, "Have them recline in rows of fifty."

15 They did so, and made all recline.

16 Taking the five loaves and the fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them and broke them and gave to the disciples to distribute to the crowd.

17 They all ate and had abundance, and what was left over was picked up \'97 twelve baskets of fragments.
